Scott J. Sheldon

Mr. Sheldon was my lawyer for a three year long lawsuit against major companies. During that time, Scott gave nothing less than 110% focus on my case. I never felt shoved to the back burner or worried that hearings or deadlines were forgotten. He kept me informed of the process and made sure my expec...tations were reasonable (and then exceeded them). He is a consummate professional, but also an enjoyable person whose goal is always to do right by his client. He answered any questions I had, no matter how silly I thought them, and I never felt patronized or "handled". I have been lucky not to have employed many lawyers in my life, but Scott Sheldon, in my experience, is clearly a great one. Gods forbid I ever need a lawyer in the future, he will be my first phone call.

I am an older person. Years ago I graduated with honors from the Univ. of Calif. Berkeley and I received a Master's Degree in Health Science from San Diego State University. During my academic years I learned the motto "Not many graduates with Ph. D. degrees in Chemistry are real chemists." In my ...experience, from my interactions with attorneys, I have realized that law school graduates that pass the BAR exam will not be guarantee to be competent attorneys in their legal practice. When I met attorney Scott Sheldon I was impressed by his superior intelligence, his intellectual capability, his dedication and his persistence to intensively investigate a legal case and its applicable laws. These qualifications are indispensable to win a case, but many attorneys are sluggish, primarily due to their lack of "inborn" wisdom. As an example, my last legal case was unsuccessfully conducted by an attorney who had twenty years of legal practice! Attorney Scott Sheldon took over this case to settle and close it. He was pleasant and very dedicated to my case. He eliminated significant errors and impediments present in my legal case. Attorney Scott Sheldon is trustworthy, attentive and responsive to his client inquiries. He accomplished a larger settlement which my previous attorney failed to do. I was emotionally relieved and very pleased with attorney Scott Sheldon' s excellent performance and excellent accomplishments. Absolutely, without hesitation, I certainly recommend attorney Scott Sheldon very competent legal representation.

Scott provided me with invaluable help on how to handle a messy family estate that was left for me. He helped me tackle collections, provided guidance on various financial matters, when to talk to a CPA, how to wind down a business in the cleanest and simplest way, what to be on the watch for, etc. ... I very much appreciate that he was genuinely out to protect his client's best interests. He is easy to reach, straightforward, 100% clear in his communications, and is very good at maintaining perspective of the whole picture without losing sight of important details. He proactively draws knowledge from every part of his life to use in his daily job, which is key when you need to think outside the box. If there is something he doesn't know, he sticks to his promise to find out for you. I was very panicked before I first started working with him (quite overwhelmed with the issues I was facing alone, with no idea on how to deal with any of it!), and he quickly talked me off a ledge. He is quite adept and putting himself in your shoes, so he explains things in a way that you would understand - rather than immersing you in a lot of legal/financial jargon. This greatly helped in taking "bite-sized" chunks out of the task at hand. Fast forward six months after my first formal contact with him - I'm nearly at the conclusion of my estate project, which was done FAR earlier (and simpler) than I had expected. I couldn't be more satisfied, and would strongly recommend Scott.

Scott Sheldon has helped me on more than one occasion, both on personal and business matters. During an arduous exchange with a previous partner regarding the breach of contract involving the purchase of a motor vehicle, Scott was stellar. He was able to resolve the issue out of court without the ex...pense of litigation, which not only was financially preferable but I was saved the anxiety of court dates and actually having to come face to face with someone who was very unhappy with me. Scott is great with allowing one to feel as though there is a legitimate barrier between your personal, day to day life that must press on even in the face of these disputes, and that dispute. This makes working with him nearly effortless, as he makes the details of his progress clear to you in a personable, logical manner. If you're looking for a down to earth and highly skilled lawyer, you're reading about him. Thank you Scott. Truly!
